I disagree. Our top 4 (Hamhuis Bieksa JG Edler) seems to be underperforming for what we pay it. We can't find a partner for Edler and he looks lost out there. Tanev seems to stabilize anyone he plays with... do we give him a shot, with top 4 minutes?

A change in the top 4 is clearly needed. Edler is the obvious candidate to leave. He might play better somewhere else, but it doesn't look like it's going to be here, unless we find him a partner.

Sometimes I feel like I care too much about the Canucks. Fuck it's like trade deadline day too, sitting here hours before the draft like a kid on Xmas eve hoping this time there will be more than a lump of coal in my stocking...

checking the usual sites for news...fucking twitter

But I got this gut feeling that the bill Haley will have some new comets

I would be OK trading both Edler and Schneider obviously depending on what came back.

The rumour is Schneider to Edm for the #7 and a prospect. I would include our 1st pick if that meant the prospect was big tough and could play in our top 9 (like another Kassian type) right now and top 6 soon.

For Edler I want a young forward prospect (top 6 now) with top line potential and a defenceman prospect (doesnt need to be bluechipper). The team needs someone ready in a few years to take over from the Sedin's much like they took over for Naslund/Bertuzzi.

Dont know if either is possible but we shall see.....

I would still be surprised to see if Gillis has the balls to move Edler today before his no trade kicks in tomorrow.

I still think he should have moved Edler, but we don't know what the offers were.

Toronto probably offered us Colton Orr and a 3rd round pick.

This is the first time since we picked up the Sedins that I can remember a Vancouver GM making a big move and getting some quality prospects in the draft. Now, hopefully, we don't end up trading them away like so many other GM's before have.
